My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

"Ah... Chang Lang, what are you doing? We are still outside." Gu Li was stimulated at this time and patted Chang An lightly.

"Don't think about these things. Instead of worrying, you might as well take some practical actions." Chang An held her hand and said.

"Actual?" Gu Li was stunned.

Chang An smiled and said, "Since she wants to save money to redeem herself, giving her money is naturally the best way."

"In fact, when I was writing the poem, I put the money for this dinner under the table and told Brother Gao at the same time."

"Ah!" Gu Li cried out, "Why is this happening..."

Chang An was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

"No..." Gu Li shook his head and said, "In fact, I also secretly left some money to my sister before I left."

Chang An suddenly burst out laughing and said, "Does this count as a telepathic connection between Gu Niang and me?"

"Calculate!"

In the Xinluan Restaurant, Su Meng sat quietly on a stool. The piece of music played was not "Ambush from All Sides" or "Spring River Moonlit Night", but "Song of the Frontier".

Su Meng leaned on the pipa, her eyebrows lowered, her eyes staring at the ground at her feet. Her slender fingertips danced on the pipa strings, sometimes pulling, sometimes rubbing, sometimes swaying. The melody of the whole song was sad and melancholy, sad and lingering.

At the end of the song, she gently plucked the strings of the pipa, and the lingering sound rang out. The guests applauded again, and there was a burst of warm applause. Su Meng stood up, her eyes were no longer as dull as before, but still as bright and charming.

She walked off the stage slowly, and at this moment, a table of guests closest to the stage actually held out a wine glass to Su Meng. When Gao Shi frowned slightly and was about to block it, the soft hand had already reached out, took the wine glass, clinked glasses with the guests at that table, and then tilted his head back to drink the wine in the glass.

Seeing Su Meng's enthusiasm, the guests at that table also threw out a bag of silver as a reward for her hair wrap. The other party took the bag of money with a smile, and without weighing it, threw it directly to Gao Shi behind him.

When they came to the next table, the guests at that table raised their glasses to her again. Su Meng took them as usual, and then drank with them. As usual, she received a bag of reward silver.

Gao Shi looked at her like this with a frown on his face.

The other drinkers saw Su Meng actually took the wine glass and raised their glasses. Su Meng did not refuse and went down one by one, drinking with the guests at each table.

Accompanying until the end, Su Meng held the pipa in her arms, held the wine glass in her hand, and looked ahead with a dazed look. At this moment, she saw a young man who was talking to Su's mother. She frowned slightly, squinted her eyes and looked at the man, and felt that there was a hint of familiarity between his eyebrows——

He looks somewhat familiar...

Is he Chang An?

At this moment, she looked a little silly, and asked with a smile to the person behind her: "Mr. Gao? Can you help me look at that man and see if he is Chang An? He looks similar..."

No matter how much she hoped to get a positive answer from Gao Shi, the answer he gave was very realistic: "Madam Su Meng, you've drunk too much. He is not Brother Chang."

"I know, I know he's not..."

At this moment, Su Meng opened her slightly squinted eyes, loosened her jade fingers slightly, and the wine glass in her hand fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry, everyone. My wife is waiting for me at home, so I'll take my leave now." The man that Su Meng was staring at turned around and said to the man sitting next to her. Hearing this, she smiled again. This sentence sounded so familiar.

He walked towards Su Meng, nodded slightly to the courtesan, and did not stay for long.

She herself was also holding the pipa, walking quietly upstairs. No one had taken the seat she and Chang An had just sat in. At this time, Gao Shi, who was holding the purse, spoke:

"Madam Su Meng, Brother Chang and Madam Gu left a turban for you under the table."

Su Meng nodded slowly, then sat down, reached under the table, and took out two money bags. She twisted the two bags, one of which contained some silver ingots, and the other contained some small change, but it was also quite a lot.

"Brother Chang and Madam Gu secretly stayed because they were afraid that Madam Su Meng would not accept them." Gao Shi said, "Brother Chang also asked me to tell Madam Su Meng a message: When you are going to travel around the Tang Dynasty in the future, remember to tell them and they will come to see you off."

Su Meng smiled bitterly, looked up at the stars outside the window, and remained silent for a long time.

"Traveling around the Tang Dynasty? It's still a long way to go..."

......

At noon on March 3, after class, Chang An hurriedly took Huai Qin to the outside of the Imperial College, and then flew directly into the carriage. Before Huai Qin sat down, Chang An ordered:

"Let's go to East Market now, the sooner the better!"

"Yes! Son!"

After receiving the order, the coachman drove the carriage directly towards the East Market.

Gu Li paced around the room anxiously. It was not until Zhen'er ran in with a brocade box in her hand that she happily walked forward and asked:

"Zhen'er, how is it?"

"Replying to Sanniang, the things have been retrieved."

Gu Li took the box with great joy at this time, and then sat down directly at the desk with the box.

Because Chang An was rushing on the road, the time he returned to Chang's house was almost the same as before. When he got off the carriage, he saw Gu Li coming out with a box.

The two saw each other, were startled, and then quickly hid the box behind them. But the things in their hands had been seen, so the couple took out the box again.

Chang An came to Gu Li with a book box on his back, then handed the box in his hand to Gu Li, and said with a smile: "Mother Gu, please open it and take a look. I specially ordered a gift for you, Mother Gu."

"Chang Lang, take a look at mine too." Gu Li took the box from Chang An's hand with one hand and handed over his own box with the other.

Chang An took the box and opened the lid. Inside was a purse with a plum blossom pattern embroidered with the Chinese characters for "hometown" and a folding fan. He picked up the fan and purse and handed the box to Huai Qin who was standing beside him.

After hanging the purse around his waist, Chang An gently opened the folding fan. On it was a horizontal painting of plum blossoms dotted with snow, and two little figures were dotted in the plum forest. How could he not see that this was the scene of the two of them taking a walk in the plum forest of Zhongnan Mountain.

Chang An closed the fan, looked up at Gu Li opposite him, and found that she was holding the jade hairpin. The jade hairpin was in the shape of flowing clouds, and a vivid butterfly was carved at the end. Gu Li happily took off the hairpin on her head and put the jade butterfly hairpin on the end of her hair.

Thanks to the craftsmanship of the jade master, Gu Li, wearing the hairpin, looked like a jade butterfly resting on the end of her hair.

"Mrs. Gu, do you like it?"

"Chang Lang, do you like it?"

The two asked in unison, then were stunned one after another, and then answered at the same time:

"I like everything that is given by Gu Niang."

"I like everything Chang Lang gives me."

When the two men saw that the other was imitating how they spoke, they frowned in anger, then one stood on tiptoe and the other leaned over, and they bumped into each other and kissed each other at the gate of Chang's mansion.

Huaiqin and Zhen'er, who were standing nearby, had already anticipated what the two would do from the beginning. So they looked at each other and slipped in first, not intending to watch the couple's cuddly scenes. On the contrary, the two doormen standing at the door could not leave their posts without permission, so they could only stand there and finish eating this wave of "dog food".

Seeing that the show was almost done, Gu Li took Chang An by the hand and walked straight towards the mansion.

The two returned to the room, Chang An threw the bookcase aside, put the fan on his waist, picked up Gu Li, and sat in front of the low table. Then he lowered his head and rubbed Gu Li's face back and forth. Now, whether Chang An was going to school or not, he would rub Gu Li hard a few times every day until he was satisfied.

After Chang An was "satisfied", he left Gu Li's face as usual after leaving her mark on her face. The other party also huddled in his arms with full enjoyment, calling out sweetly: "Chang Lang!"

"uh-huh?"

"I drew the design for Chang Lang's folding fan myself and had it custom-made." Gu Li took out the folding fan from Chang An's waist and gently opened it. "I heard that other great talents would carry a folding fan when they go out, so I asked someone to make one for me."

"Was this painting also drawn by Gu Niang herself?" Chang An asked as he kissed the top of Gu Li's head lovingly.

"Yeah." Gu Li nodded, and then he felt someone bit his face hard again.

"I drew the design for Gu Niang's hairpin myself, and then had it custom-made in the East Market," Chang An said with a smile.

"Is this made of Hetian jade?" Gu Li asked, "I have never worn such a beautiful hairpin. It must have cost a lot of silver, right?"

"Money is not important. The most important thing is that my baby Gu is happy." Chang An said.

"Then why did Chang Lang make a butterfly-shaped hairpin? Is there any meaning behind it?" Gu Li asked again.

"It doesn't have any meaning." Chang An said, "It's just that I saw a butterfly landing on the hair of a beautiful lady on the street that day. Of course I understand the meaning of the butterfly landing on the hair of a beautiful lady."

"But my wife Gu is so much more beautiful than that woman on the street, but there are no butterflies landing on her hair. How can I tolerate this?"

As he was talking, Chang An actually put on an expression that said "this is outrageous". Gu Li was amused by him and slapped him while laughing, leaving a light lip balm mark on Chang An's face.
